Daniel Radcliffe - Brotherhood of Man - How To Succeed In Business - 65th Annual Tonys

Robert Morse and Matthew Broderick introduce the nominee for Best Revival of a Musical - "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" - Starring Daniel Radcliffe. And YES that's David Hull aka "White Josh" from Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in the chorus.

[@dramamole]

Can we all agree that Daniel was absolutely snubbed by not getting a nomination for this? I'm not saying he should have won but he definitely earned a nomination here.

[@sherryduggar8821]

Daniel was a cute little boy and PERFECT for the part of Harry Potter but he is NOT a singer and does not have the charisma for stage shows.

[@dramamole]

@@sherryduggar8821 see I disagree. He is certainly not a singer along the lines of Jeremy Jordan, or George Hern, or Mandy Patinkin. However none of the actors who have played this specific role have been amazing singers. They can carry a tune and stay on pitch but they aren't really known for their singing voices. I find Daniel Radcliffe's voice to be on par with that. And I do think he has the charisma for the stage, I think he shows that in this video. He's never gonna star in Dear Evan Hansen or Book of Mormon, but he is right for these kind of shows, in my opinion. Also I mean come on he danced his ass off in this, and looked damn good doing it next to dancers who I'm sure have a ton more experience.

[@wendyweaver8749]

@@sherryduggar8821 - Watch the movie with Robert Morse and you will see for yourself that Daniel Radcliffe sang as well as Morse.

I am so happy for Daniel Radcliffe that his career didn't go the way of so many child superstars. He not only has multiple talents but he puts the work in and goes for it. He briefly had an alcohol problem, and he beat it young, and look at him now. He's a role model not only for keeping youthful success going but for overcoming your own demons.

[@DanielGonzalezC]

Fun fact: this presentation was less than a month before the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, pt 2 premiere. He wrapped up filming for the movies in December 2010, and immediately started rehearsals for this musical, which opened in March 2011, and he stayed on the show all throughout the release of Deathly Hallows, doing press and premieres for the finale of his lifelong saga. Basically doing Potter by day and Finch by night for several months. Just before Harry Potter was over, he was already looking to move past that role, which is probably why he succeeded (without trying?).

This guy has overcome a lot of demons, and he came out on top. I absolutely love this guy, and loved that he did this. It's a such a great moment, as if inside he was saying, "I did it".

Totally excellent. Daniel Radcliffe had to learn to dance to do this show and he danced brilliantly -- he did everything the professional dancers surrounding him did. Sang very nicely, too, I might add. He was the perfect choice for the role, which is supposed to be filled by a small man (Radcliffe is 5'4" tall) -- which is one of the reasons Robert Morse was cast in the original production (Morse is 5'5" tall). I've watched this number a whole bunch of times and it always makes me happier -- great choreography, a great chorus, in every way topnotch!

[@jessica23claire]

Okay. OKAY. Let's just appreciate that not only has Dan never done a big Broadway musical before How to Succeed, not only did he have to learn to sing and dance, BUT...he did it all with dyspraxia, meaning it made it even more difficult for him to learn to dance. And he easily holds his own against all these seasoned professionals.

Dyspraxia?

@@craftsandstuff3349Developmental Coordination Disorder (formerly known as Clumsy Child Syndrome) aka dyspraxia is a neuro developmental motor condition.

It’s called training and stamina. You have to understand, musical theater people are just like athletes. They train for years with dance classes and vocal training in order to be able to be able to sing and dance like that. It’s hard work. Anyone who says differently has never performed in a show. You think this is impressive, now do it 8 times a week. And if you’re in the ensemble you also not only need to learn your track, but also a few others. Many of them are understudies for supporting roles and lead roles. It’s an intense profession.

[@MillennialPanic]

I didn't like her there either. The film is wonderful and very well made, I enjoyed it very much but she's just mediocre. Of course I'm not one to talk really since I'm not an actor but in my opinion she's doing nothing outside her comfort zone. She was my Hermione in the first 2 HP movies but then it escalated downwards for me. I dunno, she just does nothing for me. Dan on the other hand does. He didn't always though, he became a great actor when he wasn't when he started. He was almost bad in the HP films but in the rest he's starring he's amazing!

Right? I have actually never seen anything from this show until now. it is an incredible number

[@77cobby]

I would never ever have thought that Daniel Radcliffe would do so good in this - he is AMAZING!

[@danielh6015]

we took my son to NY when he turned 13 and saw the show with Radcliffe and Larroquette. It was wonderful. I am old enough to have seen the original movie many times (which i love) and this was a great additional to it.

[@aurares]

rational me: daniel radcliffe is an actor. it's his job to take on different roles and tell different stories. also me: *_P O T T E R_*

[@xalliegachax]

I can't help it! It's all I see! 🤣

[@drbombay91765]

He showed such dedication to learning his craft as a musical comedy star. He did it brilliantly.

[@gracekeddy]

to this day, i keep going back to this tony performance as one of my favorites, or whenever i need a reminder for how mindblowing live theater can be. this choreo boggles the mind every single time

[@ruthtamasan579]

I come here every few weeks to make sure I never forget this performance.

[@leahsmith6573]

I didn't know that Daniel Radcliffe singing and dancing was something I needed in my life until now! WOW!

[@kevinastraw]

My life was "how to really try without succeeding in business". I have to say Radcliffe is astounding and outstanding in this clip.

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

To perform infront of Broadway legend Matthew Broderick and the man who created the role...Robert Morse himself, must have been more intimidating than performing the musical infront of a packed theatre every night!

[@Ch1oe2472]

These types of musical numbers are why I love Broadway so much.

[@Elphiyero10]

This is 11 years old at this point and I still watch it whenever it pops up on my homepage. Danrad is so impressive and what an amazing dance number. I feel you don't see dance sequences like this very much in modern musicals - I wish someone would bring them back! :)

[@magalilucia]

Eleven years and still amazes me everytime.

[@mickeyDs4]

When someone says theatre isn’t athletic, show them this.

[@tavernowl1737]

I really enjoy watching Daniel Radcliffe do a lot of different stuff. His name and fortune is big enough that he can really pick the things he want to do and I love that for him.

[@sandycapper2447]

I have watched this soooo many times! It sounds silly but I am so proud of Daniel. Such a hard worker and someone who gives all he has to every part he plays. I love to watch his feet when he is dancing -- always hitting his mark. Such a talented guy -- actor, singer, dancer -- he has it all!!

[@phillymouse2033]

I remember seeing this on Broadway and he was awesome! I agree. He should have been nominated for a Tony. He was amazing!

[@emollyg]

i cant stop watching this for the choreography alone, look how each move and arrangement blends into each other flawlessly, even just all the coordination needed for the final pose, brilliant !!

[@pegbaez6990]

That flip right into the dance step at 4:50 impressed me. I can't stop watching it. The choreography of this dance is amazing, and Daniel Radcliffe was fantastic. I wish I got to see that while it was on Broadway.

[@jellyrollnorton]

What a great number for an awards show!! Wow. Daniel Radcliffe’s dancing is just as good as all the other dancers. I hope he gets a Tony for his current role as Charley in Merrily We Roll Along.

[@lar9299]

Daniel is INSANELY talented. Never seen him dance AND sing like this. Bit late for the party, innit? Totally underrated actor.

[@watertantrums2000]

My heart melted when he started singing...he's so adorable. He's a brilliant dancer too.

[@tintinsnowyful]

That is an absolutely fantastic number. My respect for Daniel went through the roof.

[@beckyeisenhuth497]

Know it's been awhile but ... Went to New York and saw this. Daniel was amazing! Yes, he should have been nominated.

[@victorlong8828]

I always forget how short he is and then I see him on stage and giggle a little

[@alppacalypso]

Daniel, a gift to mankind.

[@TheFultonizer]

I'm sorry but this deserved a standing ovation...

[@emapleskacova4335]

i mean can you think of how much pressure daniel must have felt as a child star trying to break away from where he started? and he nailed it! literally so happy for him

[@hayprofilms]

I have to be honest that I had never heard of this show before and now I cannot put it down, its wonderful!

[@hannahpryseski7817]

I saw this in person and I was beyond glorious watching him. He had a blast.

[@susansurles3776]

that is why i always watch the tonys. they look like they are really having fun.

[@traceykumer]

Watching this reminds me why the theatre MUST NOT DIE! I just have a huge smile on my face 😄

[@nickwilliams5443]

As a fellow actor this is how you bring your best work from film to stage and create a world

[@wendyarmstrong7034]

Wow I never knew he was as brilliant at singing and dancing. So talented Daniel

[@MiracleWinchester]

I was here for Daniel when I saw this years ago. Now I'm back for David Hull.

[@raemundvp1153]

im blown away with the immense talent of Daniel. He deserved a nomination on his performance in this production.

[@multi89]

I love how he’s the smallest of everyone on stage

[@gladysolvera6566]

Well, some of them are past 6 feet tall, honey. I don't know what do you think as tall but that's pretty tall to me.

[@AthenaeusGreenwood]

Am pretty sure that was part of the casting decisions - Finch is supposed to be a short fellow (Morse is 5'5"); having those tall dancers and actors (Laroquette is like 6'4"), and Ellen Harvey in heels(!) accentuated Radcliffe's 5'5" stature. Plus WOW on the choreography - him running, jumping, bouncing, ducking under limbs and being tossed was incredible! (Being only 21yo helped a lot too, I bet - lol)

[@surinderkaur2874]

I just love him he dances so well he practiced 9 hrs each day for this show😍💖😘

[@michaelhasty1632]

To this day, I still come back to this video over and over again. This was some of the best choreography I've seen in a Broadway musical

[@justingreen2432]

The energy in this performance never fails to bring me joy down to my toe nails!

[@roberttacorbett5795]

I would have loved to have seen Daniel Radcliffe in this show. What a great performance!

[@Maddy-wv9th]

He was so impressive, especially since he was new to musical theatre.

[@shiwangnikumari4948]

Ah! Whenever I watch this video ,It brings a bright smile on my face. He's seriously so talented. So classic

[@bhavyakumari3770]

man of perfection

[@shiwangnikumari4948]

:P I know right ;D

[@Ereldor]

Wow - so Dan can sing and dance with the best of them as well! That was incredible!

[@15Candles]

If Daniel Radcliffe open the Oscars or any other award show with this kind of performance, it would've been one of the greatest award show opening ever
